What is Liquid Based Cytology(LBC)?
Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) is a technique used for collecting and preparing cells from the cervix to screen for cervical cancer and other abnormalities. During a Pap test, cells are collected from the cervix using a brush or spatula and then suspended in a liquid solution.
This method helps improve cell preservation, reduces contamination, and provides clearer results compared to traditional Pap smears. LBC is used to detect precancerous changes, infections, or inflammation.
Risks are minimal, including slight discomfort during sample collection. Results are interpreted to guide further diagnostic or treatment steps if abnormalities are found.
What to expect & how to prepare
Liquid Based Cytology(LBC) is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.
- Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
- Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
- Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
- Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Liquid Based Cytology(LBC) result rather than self-diagnosing.
